Ask yourself:
How often do I fast?
Who am I? Where am I?
Am I happy, truly happy?
God wants to give
my life a special direction.
Can I adopt a different
lifestyle which will
give me more peace.
Itis time I reflect on
the essentials of my life.
How much can I renounce?
What are the things
I should renounce?
It may help me to
become free and open
for God and my
fellow human beings.
The fasting time
is an opportunity
in which I consciously
dispose of what makes
me unfree and dependent.
(In the churches people prepare by fasting prayer thinking of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ)
